many fun memories together. |

Send your Cub Scouts to district Cub day camps for fun and

Gives information on several patches and sets of patches
that can be earned by camping and/or hiking. |

In order to assist the greatest number of Scouts we require
the Scout, the family and the unit to participate. Scouts have
the opportunity to raise a portion if not all of the camp fee
by selling Scout Candy and Popcorn as well as participating
in their units fundraisers. The council will attempt to fund
partial camperships only where there is some participation
by the Scout, the family and the unit. |

Calling All Campers!
 Greetings
Campers!
I have accepted the position and challenge of being Council Camping
Chairman for 2005. I will be working with Council Staff, District Camping
Chairman and all volunteers to ensure our Council Scouts go camping
and have a great experience. Hopefully all Scout Troops have their
camping agenda confirmed for this summer.
District Executives/District Chairman - Do all
district's have a Camping Chairman?
District Camping Chairman - Please determine if
all Troops in your District have a summer camp commitment.
Scoutmasters - Please communicate with your Unit
Commissioners about your camping plans.
There will be lots of activities & opportunities this year for
getting your Scouts "outdoors:" Camp Akela, Day Camps, Summer
Camps, Order of the Arrow Ordeal's (Has your unit
held elections yet?) and district Camp-O-Rees just to name
a few. I look forward to a successful Camping Program in 2005 with
your help!
G. Bruce Olson
Council Camping Chairman
Camping is the backbone of the Scouting
program,
or as Lord Robert Baden-Powell put it in 1907,
"Scouting is
three-quarters-outing."
The Scoutmaster by Norman Rockwell
A troop that has a good outdoors program, with plenty of camping,
keeps a boy interested, around, and involved. This section of the
Greater Yosemite Council's web site is designed to help units provide
a good
outdoor program.
